APC out of desperation and frustration are fielding nameless party to usurp the already sealed tussle. All the States they rule are suffering, even their father buhari is a renowned failure and disappointment. Looting common men tax is their problem.

Supreme court judges will not be stupid to fall for all these antics.

They will throw that matter out when it get to supreme court.

JAMO84:
Two head is better than one. Justice Suraju should go and sit down, PDP is dead in Bayelsa

The matter is going to 5 heads and later 7 heads.
Fingers crossed

Tribunal no be court!!!

BOFA2020:
Irrelevant, majority carries the vote.

BUT APC WILL NOT PARTICIPATE

fergie001:

Meaning it is a pre-election matter and election petitions tribunal do not hear pre-election cases.
Only a regular court like the Federal High Court can have the exclusive rights of original jurisdiction.

The only caveat is the "qualification or nomination" (certificate etc) of the candidate been challenged.

Just like the case filed by Diri against Lyon....

The Judgement cannot stand.

Several standing makes the judgement shaking before the appeal.

1. statue barred 180 days and maximum 201 days for tribunal sitting.

2. Pre-election matters

ORIENTATION101:

If inec doesnt appeal . diri will vacate the seat until inec conduct fresh Election which will include APC candidate

Diri will appeal because he was a party to the said case

PDP People are looking for any ray of sunlight...get ready for new elections!

Buying time and giving some fellows false hope.

3. No locus because the deputy's nomination is not in order because he is below the constitutionally-required age to even institute the case in the first place.

vicdom:
I'm hundred percent certain that the judgement will be overturned by the appellate court.

The empty cheat beaters are here

They should ask Atikwuchukwu how far

optimus106:
Tribunal no be court!!!

It is a Special Court created by the Constitution.

Happy birthday to my action GENERAL IBB

Exactly, i'm still looking at the standing point of the other two judges.

from their judgement what they are basing their argument on was the latest judgement affecting parties de-registration.

Can you also give a detailed explanation of the reasons behind the two dissenting decisions? This one sided minority opinion cannot stand in the face of scrutiny. Media sensation cannot reverse the judgement. Only the courts can and PDP will need more than a minority report to do that.

fergie001:

Justice Sirajo opined that it was a pre-election matter and should have been handled by a Regular Court and outside of the jurisdiction of the tribunal.

Again, the Constitution is superior to the Electoral Act.

And the issue of fake certificate by APC deputy governor nko? Is that post election matter?

AAA593:

The tribunal judgment will not stand

The judgement is already sitting down comfortably.

ORIENTATION101:
His opinion , since majority on the bench have voted in favour of new election.

You dey mind the constructive journalism?

Tribunal voted 2-1 and they’re concocting stories.

Who is reporting this type of news na? Who is Justice Woniwei again? There is no Judge like that on that panel na

Your eye go clear soon

He's part of the panel

"The constitution is greater than the electoral act" is it also greater than the sharia law?
If yes then those unconstitutional judgements in Kano should be appealed and voided ASAP!

this man has given a valid reasons why the election should be overturned by the appeal court. APC government is not transparent at all. Everything about them is corruption

AAA593:

He's part of the panel

No, that's not the name of the third Judge on the panel, please try to get your facts clearly before posting online.

ORIENTATION101:
His opinion , since majority on the bench have voted in favour of new election.

His opinion matters in the appeal court

RichBoy247:


And the issue of fake certificate by APC deputy governor nko? Is that post election matter?

It is a pre-election matter but it was instituted at the Federal High Court in Abuja not at the tribunal.

iwaeda:


What was Supreme court judgement?

only in animal kingdom

.....perhaps, you will have to personally open the INEC window and personally handle the substitution of the APC deputy governorship candidate. Well, if higher courts uphold the majority judgement, APC will have to support another political party's candidate who will eventually decamp to APC if he/she wins - just like the 2019 scenario in Rivers State gubernatorial election.

ORIENTATION101:

There is difference between

Re-run( continuation of existing Election)

Fresh Election ( all political parties start allover again)

Supreme Court governor loading for Bayelsa & Edo

It very confusing what we want as a nation. I thought we all clamoring for a better Nigeria since we not directly benefiting from these set of people. How can we see something that is black and call it white. We all know these case should have been thrown out by the tribunal and yet some people are still supporting this idiotic judgement. Let face it, the judgment is a mockery of our judiciary, I hope the apex court correct this judgment.
